Very cool uber!  The only stuff I see in the dollar bins at my record store are really beat up or titles you've never heard of.  Their prices are quite reasonable for used records though, the best I've seen in the area and typically about 70-80% o... 
Breakdown of Turntable Performance
A $50 AT95E cartridge on my Music Hall MMF 7.1 sounded better than a $800 Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood on my Music Hall MMF 2.2 table.  Better feet, a more solid plinth, a detached motor, a better tonearm, better wiring... those things all matter.  Wh...

Need some guidance with music server and cd ripping.
Foobar 2000 and an external hard drive which I make available on my network.  Foobar is free, maybe $100 for a good 2TB drive and external enclosure (make sure it has a fan!).  Get a second one for backup and use a free tool like syncback or synct...

Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please!
